Default Terraria - [Scam]

Uhm... what is this? Is it real?






The original PC-version was developed by Re-Logic, btw.
Did those ItSons do the port?
But the game's file size is only 8.3mb. Something smells fishy...

It's fake, all development on terraria has stopped and the dev had no plans on porting to other devices.

Wow crazy rip-off. Based on the complete lack of visual controls or resized interface, I'm betting this is one of those "fake" apps that's just a handful of screenshots in a slideshow, and at best a rough guide to Terraria.

This was my guess. It looks like a picture gallery.
Still, because of the description and the screenshots, many people will fall for that and buy it.

Yup, STAY CLEAR OF THIS. It's not official at all.

The mods should change my header into a warning immediately.

Pretty disgraceful that Apple lets these through. Clearly indicates they don't check everything.

And the 'support' link leads to a placeholder site too - nothing there. Apple checked absolutely nothing here...

Apple doesn't care unless it's their own stuff or they get notified.

Also, Apple doesn't have the ressources to check every legal issue of every app.
Simply impossible for them.

Last, but not least, it's not Apple's task to protect other people's stuff and rights. The holders always have to protect their stuff themselves.

Don't make Apple responsible for everything. Would be a bit too easy.
